Explanation:
(This amendment supplants $4.1 million GF each year with anticipated federal bonus payments for the Commonwealth's actions to enroll more children in the Medicaid and FAMIS programs. This bonus was authorized in the federal Children's' Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA) of 2009 and is based on a calculation of the change in children's enrollment for Medicaid. Virginia's expected bonus payment is $20.6 million each year. The introduced budget accounted for $16.5 million of the anticipated bonus payment in each year.) |
